Hi All, Please see the updated draft "Proposed Experiment: Normative Format in Addition to ASCII Text" at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ash-alt-formats-02.txt, .pdf version available at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ash-alt-formats-02.pdf. The draft describes an RFC 3933 Process Experiment allowing normative PDF output be trialed for RFCs and I-Ds. As discussed in Section 3, documents in the Routing Area Working Group ([U-TURN]) and Network Time Protocol Working Group ([NTP-ALGORITHM]) will be progressed through IESG review and RFC Editor review in PDF format and also in ASCII format. The ASCII format version may be limited to text only and not include figures, diagrams, or equations. The method to progress the PDF format version is as specified in RFC2223bis http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rfc-editor-rfc2223bis-08.txt: "When the .pdf version is submitted with the .txt version, the RFC Editor will first edit the .txt version. The final form of the .txt version (or, when feasible, the diffs) will be returned to the author. The author must then update the .pdf files to match, as closely as possible, the content and format of the ASCII .txt file. When the RFC Editor agrees that the .pdf version is acceptable, it is published simultaneously with the .txt version." The IESG (shepherded by Bill Fenner, Routing AD) has agreed to proceed with the experiment. Please let us know of any comments or suggestions on the updated draft. Thanks, Jerry, Stewart, Yaakov -----Original Message----- From: Internet-Drafts@xxxxxxxx [mailto:Internet-Drafts@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 3:50 PM To: i-d-announce@xxxxxxxx Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-ash-alt-formats-02.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Proposed Experiment: Normative Format in Addition to ASCII Text Author(s) : J. Ash, et al. Filename : draft-ash-alt-formats-02.txt,.pdf Pages : 9 Date : 2006-5-25 Following RFC 3933, the authors propose an experiment allowing, in addition to ASCII text as a normative input/output format, PDF as an additional normative output format.
